The following are all my personal speculations. You are welcome to discuss together and refute my views!
If you watch "Parallel Universe" as a two-episode American drama, I personally think that the details are handled quite well. For the convenience of the later narration, I will first divide the four worlds involved in the plot: the core world, that is, the audience has not seen it yet. the world of nuclear radiation; the world of nuclear radiation, which is the world they first traveled through the past; the modern world, the world they lived in since childhood; the world of high technology, the world they traveled through for the second time.
First of all, they are chased by those three strange people twice in the movie, once at the beginning of the movie and once in the high-tech world, but the two chases are not the same. Personally, I think that the three people are actually chasing and killing the fathers of C and B. They should be people from the core world. First, the first time they appeared was at night; the second time they appeared, it was during the day, indicating that In any world, these three people are chased and killed, and the weapons held by the three people are relatively advanced; secondly, the three people have been shouting "Carver", which is the last name, not the brother's name.
Both C and B entered the building following his father's wishes. First, they arrived at the first nuclear radiation world. What's interesting is that a new Harry (hereafter referred to as H), who has to follow him in life and death, has a crush on B. There is a section outside the garage. In the dialogue, B said that her father was missing, but H said that I saw someone in your family last night, which means that the three people were looking for their father. The second new addition is the Asian woman who suddenly met in the building, explaining the role of the building and the important clue that you must return to the building within 36 hours or you will not be able to return to the original world. One of the details stated that the Asian woman they met on the first day was not the same person the next day, that is, when the Asian woman first appeared, all three introduced themselves, but on the second day, the Asian woman The daughter-in-law asked again, since she is not a mortal, it is impossible for her to remember three names. So at the end of the movie, there are three identical hers all at once, which can be explained.
The arrangement of coming to the world of nuclear radiation, I speculate that one is for the development of the plot, indicating that my father is the one who created the nuclear explosion, and must not be an ordinary person, and the second is to lead the technical house and follow them to the high-tech world. , and made that artifact that allowed them to rise to the top of the building and finally meet their dad.
In the high-tech world, four people act separately. The role of B and H in the electronic product store is actually to elicit J's identity in this world, and to be able to find his own home in this world through fingerprint recognition. After the two people got home, even in another world, H still likes B, and even the computer password has not changed. The interesting thing is that it proves the point of the movie. No matter how they travel through, the time of all worlds is the same, The only difference is how long each person lives and the life they experience. And each world's "self" personality is different.
When J found out that in the high-tech world, he had a nice apartment, was able to travel around, and lived a better life than himself because of improper means, he became jealous and wanted to expose himself, but he still did not press Enter. . On the contrary, when he was about to leave, B from the high-tech world came back, kissed him as soon as he saw him at the door, and the tone of his speech showed that in this world, B and H should be living together. This time, H did not hesitate to press Enter, which eventually led to J in this world falling into a crisis of public opinion. It can be seen that J's possessiveness is quite strong. I don't know if there is a sequel, will it be determined by his character? What kind of plot does it extend.
On the other hand, C and the Asian woman went to their own home in the high-tech world. Key point one found the exact same bag left by his father in the garage. Key point two appeared the three people at the beginning of the film, who were also shouting Carver. At that time, the Asian woman used a high-tech stun gun. In addition, she also said that when she was traveling through other worlds, she also encountered these three people and did not dare to provoke them.
It should be mentioned separately that in the high-tech world, there are only B and parents, and there is no C. This should be a foreshadowing. Which world does C come from? Personal speculation, C may be a child born by parents in the core world, and then brought to the modern world by parents to grow up. When they finally saw Dad, Dad said that they didn't want their children to know about this building and the existence of parallel worlds prematurely. But why did Dad leave those clues for B and C to enter the building and know that parallel worlds exist?
The appearance of Dad provided an important clue, that the ball left to C was the only tool that could allow them to enter the core world, but to open the ball, only mother could. So next they need to keep traveling through the world to find the living mother.
But Dad didn't appear like a father. When the technical house came down from the upstairs, he only said one sentence: He is a liar. Don't believe what he said. Dad shot him to death. What did he see upstairs? ? Which of your father's words is credible? This is a doubt. There is also a detail in the play, that is, B described that after his mother died, his father became very melancholy. He should be melancholy that the only person who could open the ball died in the modern world, so he had to go through the world again and again. , looking for the mother who is still alive.
In his father's few words, he revealed that he had restarted traveling through the world many years ago, and mentioned his mission. What is that mission? It should be related to his return to the core world. Dad should be one of the important people "upstairs", and mom should be related to the core world, so that he can be the only one who can open back to the core world. The reason why the two chose to live in the modern world is that they want to retire, so they deliberately cannot return to the original world for more than 36 hours. As for the three people who have been chasing and killing, it should be related to the task that Dad said.
At the end of the film, three Asian women appear at the same time. I think there are two possibilities. One is that one of them travels to another world and finds himself in a parallel world, so he takes her and starts to travel again until he encounters the same It is not difficult to see that these three Asian women are a little bit naughty. Why are the three people hiding in the building? I think it's to wait for new people to come in and start a game between the three. Another possibility is twin sisters, which are related to the core world, because when C's father appears, pay attention to the changes in the expression of the Asian woman, and she also retreats deliberately to avoid it. It needs to be explained again that in the high-tech world, C and Asian women buy food together. When C presses his fingerprints and finds that he is not there, the Asian woman does not go up and press her fingerprints to help buy food, but drags her. If he leaves, it is very likely that there are no Asian women in this world.
The above is just my personal opinion. I hope that interested friends can also put forward their own rebuttal opinions and discuss together! Of course, if this film can be made into an American drama, I think I will still pursue it and see what my inferences are right.
